from getting the drivers door open 20 seconds tops.....

this thing is a joke...

what about prevention rather then cure?????

its too late once the thieve has already smashed your door lock to bits or broken a window.

assuming i was a car thieve and i spotted this contraption i would attach 1.5 m of chain to the front tow hitch on my car then crack the door open and hook it onto the lower half of the coplock and hit reverse. it will either twist the lock or the brake pedal, but either way it will come off.

then the car is yours.

regardless of the above its not hard to drive a car without brake's thats what the hand brake is for.

i wouldn't use one if it was given to me let alone paying hard earned cash for one....

cheers

prevention for sure is the word, buy a daily or take the work car shopping. Thats what i do no one is going to steal a 500 doller work car i never park my 33 any where to many f**k heads that steal and key cars!!!!

its not allways that easy.

my misses takes her car shopping almost daily and im not concerned about it getting stolen in the slightest.

it doesn't look like some hotted up monster just waiting to get a scratch, yet it has 300rkw.

but i guess thats irrelevant. prevention is allways better then the cure...

If you have a decent alarm, and dont park it in back streets where no one cares then sleep easy....

lol some of these responses are funny. A thief bringing his own car and using it to rip off the coplock?? How would he drive both cars away?

I see this coplock as an alternative to the steering wheel lock. Plenty of people still use steering wheel locks so i dont see why this shouldn't work as a deterrent and possibly prevent any potential theft.

Yes any car can be stolen if the thief is planned+motivated but i think this is just to stop joy riders etc.

Already seen commercials on tv advertising the coplock.

If a theif will be prepared to bring an angle grinder then they may be prepared to bring a GSM blocker and stop your mobile sending any messages :worship:

Seeing as he offers a refund why doesn't someone purchase it and try and rip it off, if it pops off get your refund :mellow:

wow never even thought of that. I guess your car is never safe unless its boxed in by 5 cars.

I think Quicktrak cant be blocked because they use a different frequency or something. Unless there is a quicktrack jammer out there haha.

Look at what this bloke drives around with...

Angle grinder would be a little more inconspicuous.

IF your in the market for a steering lock the coplock is a good alternative.. Steering locks damage the skylines leather steering wheel. :)

Yeh well more times than not, they rock up with a previous stolen car dump and grab a new one! Just recently over here a subaru got put into a stobie pole, then another car got stolen a street away and driven 3 or 4 suburbs away where they torched it, torched another car on thier way to stealing another one, and dumped that back near where they crashed the subaru and torched that also! all this was 5 min from the city too!

    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
